Do you think people seeking medical advice from HN comments might be related to their disatisfaction from the suppor they receive from medical clinicians?
My impression is that the site has gradually shifted right, but the Overton window has shifted right faster giving the illusion that it has gone left.
Edit: There is something ironic to be said about my very benign comment triggering someone to the point that they felt compelled to create an account and call me classically right wing slurs (subhuman, animal, low-iq). I think its worth considering that the internet/social media has contributed to a growing mental health crisis. Hurt, sick and lonely people seem to congregate online.
Failing to mention his involvement with the US security services seems like an oversight. We don't know exactly what technology he add access to at the time.
